Be it known that I, HnNRYW Bin/SHAB,l

a citizen ot the United States, residingvat- Oskaloosa, in the county of Mahaska and State orf lfowa7 have invented `certain new and useful Improvements in 'lfil-reflntlating Devices, of which theJv following is; a specification,-ret'erence being had to .theaccomf 'lhisinvention relates to an. improved tire initiating device of `thetype positioned 'adv jacent driveways so that an automobile may be driven to'a pointgadjacent the filling device and an air hose drawn downwardly so that it may be connected with the tire.

Another object of the invention is toprovide an air iniating device of this character in which a plurality of air hoses may. be connected with a reservoir andA any one of the hoses drawn downwardly for use.

Another object of the invention is to provide improved means for mounting thehoses 'tor vertical and horizontal swinging-movement and to so constructthe hoses that they maybe readily used without danger of them becoming twisted or otherwisefbentgout of shape so thatthe'passage ofair throughthe hose isj interfered with. l

Another object :of the invention is toy so mount the hoses thatthey may swing v'freely and .to provide means for limiting upward.

swinging movement by springs serving to normally retain them in an elevated posiv tion. I l l,

Thisfimproved `tire iniiating device is to be positioned adjacent a driveway in front ci anA automobile accessory and filling .station and isprovidcd with a `standard 1 formed ofpipe having its lower vend in threaded engagement with the neck 2 of lthe base- 3` which will be secured tothe pavek ment'for'uponasuitable support in any desired manner. rlhe upper portion d of the standard'isalsol tormedhoi' pipe and these p ipe ,sections 1 and 4, are in'ithreaded engagement with the 'necks 5" and G extending ui'rom the reservoir tank 7.' lt will thus be n seen :thatthis tank 7 will be positioned ina 'termediate the height ot the standard which may have a head.Sprovided-jat its upper end. and `illuminated by suitable `electric light,-not' sl'iownj` The air'supply pipe ,9 which'will lead from asuitable storage tank extends upwardly through the base 3 and :lower portion of the standard and has its upper end connected with the reservoir so that 'air will" be fed into the reservoir las it Lis used.v ThisA reservoir will preferably be rectangular v.in top plan, but it will be un- Qlderstoodrthat maybe of any shape desired.

,The outlet'l conduits Lorv hose members l4`Ql'hrou'gh which the air passes to the tires are connected with the upper wall .of the reservoiry 7 andin the present illustration'therc Y has been shown four of these conduits but asmany-Qina'y be provided as desired. All ot a thesel Iconduits are of a duplicate construc` scribed zin detail. Y l i Eachofthes'euconduits is provided with an 'inner Vsectionl() formed of a small pipe and Qanout'er section 11 which is formed of hose =Qandfisconnected with the outer end of the .,tionfand, therefore, onlyone will be de- A light spring 1,2 hasbeen provided about the innerend portion ofthe' hose 11 so that the -,hose prevented"l from'crimping and "preventinglair from passing'` through thel hose, `and eventually causingthe hose to be weakened rand broken oli'. The hose will also be provided with a conventional construction of chuck 13k for engaging the valve stem of the automobile tire. The reinforced hose section 14 is connected with the inner end ofthe pipe section 10 by the coupling 15 and has its inner end connected with a nipple 16 extending from the boss 17 of the reservoir 7 by a coupling 18 which is similar to the coupling 15 and this reinforced hose section 14 extends through :iniolinting-menibei' having lan upper'sectioii 1 9 and a lower e pipe 10 may have vertical swinging lnovement 'and may also "be swung horizontally. It is desired to havetlie ontl'e't conduits'fnriiiallylield in an elevated positionand tlieie has, therefore, been provided springs .Q4 `which l'iave their upper'endsconnecteda hooks carried 'by the upper section ltot tlievstandard and their lower ends "connected 'with hooks 26 'carried by the sections 190i" the inefansior n'innting*the'pi-pes "for "ver-v tical and horizontal', swinging movement Therefore, these pipes l0 will lbe'no'nfially held in an elevated position but -may jb'e "swung Vdoivnvvai'dly for use. 'It 'isalsodesiied to Alimit lthe upward swinging moyeinent of these `pipes and 4in o'dei-to do so, there has been provided-a lnini'periing'? which is positioned about-'the 'tippensection of the standard and connected with tliisnppeistandai'd sect-ion by supporting'armsi.
